[QUOTE="Stumpalump, post: 437200, member: 13140"] If you know Karts then you know Burris Racing. Mike Burris brought the Yamaha 20hp YF200R1 kart motor to fruition. Same block that the Kohler 6.5 used and was in 2wd Rokon motorcycles. I built and sold 20 of his engines built to about 12hp to put in the slow Rokons. I still have one and it runs great. Before long the $99 harbor freight was being souped up. For the consumer they could buy a bulletproof Yamaha for $1400 from me or buy a Prededor and soup it up for a couple hundred more. Was mine worth 1100 more? You bet it was but for $300 you could get power for a lot less. I gave up but had my fun and made a few bucks. I still have one in a box that I'll use in a bike or put on a mud motor kit. 6.5hp mud motor tweeked to 15 would work. [/QUOTE]
